What else is heaven, but God's kingdom? What else is God's kingdom, but heaven and everlasting life?
No distinction between the two at all . . .
I am willing to call heaven where ever God makes his abode. If God is in heaven above right now, that's heaven. If God were to come down to earth and live among men, then that would be heaven for me as well.
Revelation 21:1-5 KJV
(1)
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
(2) And I John saw
the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
(3) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
(4) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
(5) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
